The History of HockeyRelive great moments in hockey history and discuss how the game has changed over time.

Scott Niedermayer. In his early career he was similar to Ed Jovanovski and was paired with Ken Daneyko who was tasked with cleaning up his mental lapses. He was never a top tier defenseman until New Jersey's 2003 Cup run, and stayed elite until 2007, was good for another couple years and retired. But people act like he was as good as 2006 Niedermayer for the whole thing. If you argue, people just list off all the things that his teams won.

If you really want a good discussion on this topic, check out the History of Hockey Forum. It's filled with posters who are old enough to actually have a valid opinion on "of all-time" questions. They also use facts, which is a novelty around here.

Martin Brodeur, played on a team good enough to provide him the protection to be successful. He was a good goalie but spent his entire career on a very good team. I know its silly to put him down because his team was so good for so long but I think he is overrated because of it.

If I had another choice I would also nominate Messier, everything about the guy screams overrated.

I also think its unfair to say guys were overrated just because their careers were derailed by injuries. I have seen Lindros's name as well as Clark, both excellent players but injuries pretty much destroyed each of their respective careers.

Lindros without a doubt. Whined when he came in the league (actually before that when he stiff armed the Soo), no show in only Finals appearance, whined to get out of Philly, "dominant" against little guys, but couldn't hack it when the big boys started to go after him. Even his one Hart trophy was during shortened season & to be honest, Jagr should have won it that year. He wasn't a beast by any stretch. He was overrated coming out of Junior, continued that fine tradition into the NHL & never really met expectations....
